Well perhaps the console should have been a similiar size to the one in TOS or TNG. Not smaller.

I also tend to agree that the transporter cycle should have been longer, maybe only by a 3-5 seconds though. As for the colour perhaps they should have used something closer the gold pattern shown in TOS. To show an evolution of the technology.
